shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 10), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor (not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that

11. meets all of the specifications described on page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888825-2588

and order part number 146148.

Always wear athletic

12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the con trol system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

14. Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)

Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

19. treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD

TREADMILL on page 24.) You

20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill.

21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

THE

When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an

22. electronic “chirping” sound will alert you when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in cline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline may change before the personal trainer describes the change.

23. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can manually override the speed and incline settings by pressing the speed and incline buttons. However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will change to the next settings of the CD or video program.

24. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from your CD player or VCR and disconnect your MP3 player when you are not using them.

Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

25. treadmill regularly.

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires the included allen wrench and your own phillips screwdriver and wire cutters . For help identifying the assembly hardware, see the hardware drawings below.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-8252588 and order part number 146148.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of features designed to help you get the most from your workouts. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the builtin handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23).

In addition, the console features eight preset programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec tive workout. The console also offers two heart rate programs that control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate during your workouts. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use the heart rate programs.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable,
